Description
Empires are born. Empires reach their
peak. Empires die, but leave their
mark through their architecture and
artistic achievements. From these specks
of dust of memory, 40 centuries of history
shape our world of the 21st century. The
power of ancient Egypt was followed by
the influence of Greece, which brought
the Persian East together in the conquests
of Alexander the Great. After Cleopatra,
the last queen of Egypt, Rome became the
power that ruled part of the world, finally
dying out in the fall of the Byzantine
Empire on 29 May 1453. The authors
take the reader on a journey through time
and space and highlight the succession of
these civilisations that rubbed shoulders,
even fought against each other and led us
towards a more enlightened humanity.
